For all the enzyme/inhibitor systems examined, the inhibition patterns were strictly competitive, and titrations conformed to simple equilibria. The inhibitory effect of TAPP-H and TAPP-halo derivatives is higher, by at least 10-fold, than that of benzamidine, which binds at the primary specificity subsite (S1) of serine proteinases and is commonly taken as a molecular inhibitor model. The high inhibitory effect of aromatic tetraamidines has been interpreted taking into account an additional productive binding for a second benzamidine or halo-benzamidine moiety to the enzyme surface.
